* Catching up on my December Daily / Journal Your Christmas *

I committed to myself several months ago that I was going to record/journal/scrapbook this Holiday season for my family. So, I signed up for Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas and planned out my Ali Edwards December Daily album.
Fast forward to December 1st and guess what? I am ALREADY behind.
Whatever. That is just how I roll, I guess. I am not going to let it stress me out or cancel my plans. I will just go with the flow.
I did manage to {finally} decide that I am going to do this project digitally. That just works better for me right now even though I bought tons of paper supplies, sshhhh, don't tell hubby.
Yesterday I managed to create my cover page for the album. I am going with SIMPLE in theme and style this year.
Here is my cover page.

template by Ali Edwards, background papers by Mindy Teresawa & Danielle Engebretson, stitching by Libby Weifenbach, sparkly alpha my own design.
While I was working on the page I knew I wanted a sparkly, glittery alpha for the text but couldn't find what I wanted online. Then I remembered a glittery holiday alpha I made several years ago {when I was still designing digital product}. I still think it looks awesome after all these years!
So, in the spirit of giving, I have posted a graphic and link for you {my darling blog readers} to download and enjoy.
All I ask is that you use this for personal use only :) I would love to see how/where you use it, so please send me a link in the comments.
I FORGOT my camera on Thanksgiving Day. I have NO pictures. I am really bummed about it but am going to let it go and remember that I was present and in the moment without it. I enjoyed myself and didn't worry about trying to get great pictures :)
Yeah, that's my story.

This is my Great Nephew. Great as in he is great and great as in he is my niece's son.
Friday was his 1st birthday. He was born on Thanksgiving day last year and we are all very thankful for him!
He thought his birthday cake was pretty cool...
His big sister did too...
And his cousin...
It was a great weekend spent with my great family. I am so very thankful for them.
I am totally crazy over Letterpress lately. I love the clean, sharp lines that letterpress creates in a piece. To me if feels elegant and classy, even if the design is playful. I think it is an amazing artform and would love to learn how to do it. Unfortunately, there is only one place (that I can find) in the Atlanta area the teaches letterpress.
These are some of my favorite holiday letterpress items that I have found on Etsy, thought I would share :)
